    the final baskets are worth watching again, but the reaction of the crowd when the winning basket goes down is like a group convulsion

    Stay classy Cuban!

    Meanwhile we sent Svi to the Midwest where he played college ball and went to school and allowed Zu to keep sleeping in his bed for the remainder of the season.

    #playerrelations will be a huge deal doing forward. I can see rule changes in the next CBA regarding free agency and player movement, especially if KD to NY plays out.

    In the meantime, I'm waiting to see how far teams and players stretch this "it's a business" quote. Someone like Zach Lowe, a guy's opinion who I respect, needs to lay off of assessing NBA events from the perspective of a GM. There are more perspectives to this. The media continues to have a giant circle jerk over Ainge's performance in accumulating his "War Chest".

    IT is not well-liked around these parts, but imagine being him - the C Bags ship you out like ground chuck and then the entire national media congratulates them for doing it. That's a double whammy. There is little discussion about what players thought about this, other than tweets.

    I'm not gonna commend LeBron, nor will I hate on him for that post. But when can players express that they don't want to be treated like walking numbers? F this Ainge Morey moneyball BS. Analytics have a place, but you need to take care of your own. That's the Dr. Buss' way.

    That Portland roster was pretty absurd. Great teams. Most excited I’ve probably ever been watching a comeback victory

    Yup. A group convulsion, followed by a wave of yelling Laker fans—tons of Laker fans there! :Beertoast2:

    The game against Boston was a huge win. But we got lucky. We drilled 3's in a way we never do. With that said, it was a true team victory and I love those.

    The grit they played with showed me that our young players have huge chip on their shoulders to prove to management that we don't need Davis. That combined with LBJ pissed we didn't get AD could lead to a big momentum swing. We can't afford to lose any easy games from this point on.
